Create a New Subledger Accounting Attribute

The Subledger Attributes Feature enables you to create new Subledger Accounting Attributes. Ensure that the same source name is not used for two source mappings. Additionally, when creating a new attribute, use a unique name. If the name of an existing attribute is used, then you might encounter upgrade issues.
Perform the following steps to create New Subledger definitions:
  1. In the Subledger Accounting Attributes pane, click Add to open the Subledger Accounting Attribute Window.
